5 Circus Tram Hoodoo ,_
An Engineer‘s Story of Air Brakes .5
a 'That‘ Wopld Keep Getting Set. .
\ ‘3
I i
B were up against a queer
kind of a lunch the other Fri-
day night,” said the fat engineer to .a
circle of his friends. “It was the night
of the big circus in town and. we had
the job of towing the circus train over
the division. When I met Murphy, my
’ side partner, in the round house that
night, he says to me:
“ ‘Say, Bill, .are you superstitious?
Do you believe in signs?’
“ ‘Nary,’ I said; ‘not unless it’s a res-
taurant sign or a sign for the pay car.’
“‘I’v-c had all sorts of queer things
happen to me to-day,’ he says. ‘First,
I got up on the wrong side of the
bed, and then I got my shirt on hind
side foremost. I took it oflf and changed
it, and my wife says that’s the worst
thing I could have done. She said if
I wanted to break the hoodoo I should
have left it on. But I didn’t want to
come down-town looking like a. ferry-
boat and have people ask me which way
I was going. Then to keep the good
work going I broke a looking glass this
afternoon, and everything seems to
have been going wrong all day. I’ve
got a creepy feeling like I uster have
when I buried cats in a graveyard at
midnight to kill warts. The folks
wanted me to lay off this trip, but I
thought it was all foolishness, so here
I am.’
“ ‘Huh,’ I said; ‘you didn’t see across-
eyed black cat with a crumpled tall or
a fat nigger with white spots, did you?’
M ‘NO:
“ ‘Or dream your mother—in-law was
dead?’ He answered in the negative.
‘Well,’ I says, ‘I guess we’ll go through
0. K. with. nothing more serious than
bustin’ a water glass.’
“ ‘What- train we going to catch out
to-night ?’ he asked.
“ ‘Circus train,’ I answered, ‘as that’s
about our turn out.’
“ ‘Gee whiz!’ he said, ‘I knew we’d
be up against a hoodoo. That’s the
worst that could happen. Circus train
and Friday night.’ _
“ ‘Oh, gowan,’ I broke in, ‘maybe the
number of our train orders will be 13
and we'll have 13 cars. You give me a
pain in the neck with your hoodoos.’
“ ‘I wish you were a giraffe, so’s you’d
have that pain good and hard,’ was his
rather unkind remark.
“My guess had been correct, and
about 11:30 we got orders to proceed
down to the yard for the circus train.
We got down there all right and the
show people were all ready to start. It
was a good heavy train for one engine,
and I said to Murf:
feeling out of you before we get very far
with this train.’ We got away, and
after we’d passed out of'the yards I
commenced to swing ’em along pretty
good. I felt a little drowsy, and like
all good, trusty engineers, with my
hand on the throttle and my eyes on
the track, thinking of home and the
old, oaken bucket, I dropt into a doze.
“I was about. half asleep when phut!
phw-ios-t! I heard something go and
I brought up in the front of that cab
and hit my head on the door frame. I
shut her off and we stopped very sud-
den, just like we had broken in two or
the train air hose had separated, set-
ting the air brakes. The head brake-
man came running up and says:
“ ‘Wot’l you think yer doin’? Tryin’
to play snap the whip?’
“ ‘You tend to your biz and I‘ll look
out for the locomotive,’ says I. "The air
pipe has busted somewhere near the
engine; I heard her go?’
“ ‘This traiu's branded with a hoo-
doo,’ said Murf. ‘I wish I had laid off
to-night.’
“ ‘I’es, by thunder, I wish you had!‘
I thought. ‘You make me feel like a.
walking dreambook.’
“The brakeman gave me a signal to
go ahead. '
“‘lt‘s all i right.' he hollered; ‘hose
just parted between the fourth and
fifth cars.‘
“i tried the air, and as it worked all
right in a minute we were off again
and hitting it at a respectable clip.
“ ‘Wonder what made the hose part?‘
Murf hollered over to me.
“ ‘Dunno,’ I answered.
those darn nincompoops in the yard
didn’t have them connected good.
They’———- ,
“But my little speech was here in-
terrupted by my head bringing up
against the cab window again. Murf
stuck his head clean through the glass
on his side. The fire was flying from
the set brakes like a Dewey celebra—
tion. I shut off steam. and we made
another Rough Rider finish. .
“ ‘Train pipe has parted again. and I
guess the way we stirred things up

‘I’ll take the creepy.‘
‘I suppose ,
glad that Providence has been so good
to her as to give her a soft place to land .
on,’ says I.
“Murf’s teeth were chattering, and
he says: ‘Bill, .I never expect to get
a . I
home alive again. There’s a lloodoo on
this train.’
“ ‘Better get your grub pail and
lunch, so’s you won’t pull away hun-
It’s more likely a hobo trying
to get fresh cutting the train pipe,’
says I.
“This time the pipe had scpara ted be-
tween two cars about'20 car lengths
back from the engine. They soon had
it connected again and we were ofi
once more; But we hadn’t gone very
many miles ' further when, kerslam
bang! we brought up on all fours again.
I was getting pretty .mad now because
I knew there was some one separating
that train pipe which .set .the air brakes
and brought us up short. Idetermined
not to budge out of that spot till we
found out what it was. We had made
such a sudden st0p the ilast time that
we routed out everybody and the side-
show freaks were prancing around in
the chill, early morning air without-
much clothes on. They presented an
uncanny sight, and I didn’t wonder at
Murf’s saying the train was hoodooed.
The train hands and myself started in
to make a. thorough inspection, and
we had quite a few spectators from
members of the circus who occupied
three sleeping cars at the rear of the
:train. They would offer us sugges-
tions now and then. _
“ ‘This his a. bloody, blooming, blarst-
eed country,’ said the English ring-
master. ‘Hover in hold Hengland we
wouldn’t ’arve sech goin’s hon as this.
If the hair brakes won’t work, why
.don’t you use the ’arnd brakes?
“‘Say, there was no ropes on yer
stayin’ in hold Hengland was there?’
says the head brakeman. ‘If you don’t
like the way we do things why don’t
yer go back? They probably have
never heard of hair brakes over there.’
“All this while we had been looking
the train over, and finally we reached
the caboose without finding any de-
fect in airbrake hose. Every time the
brakes had been set the pipe had been
found uncoupled between two cars.
Certainly that pipe didn’t fall apart
itself. “7e had about made up our
minds to start and try once more when
one of the brakemen, who was about
half way up the length. of the train,
yelled:
“ ‘Here it is, boys! It’s a monkey,
sure’s I live. He’s hiding here on one
of the trucks of this car.’
“We all made a run for that car, and
sure enough there was a monkey sit-
ting on one of the rear trucks. “
“ ‘How are you going to get him
out of there?’ asked the man who had
made the discovery. He made a move—
ment toward his monkeyship, and
whist! the monkey went dancing along
on the under braces of the car. We had .

the divil’s own time getting that mon-
key. First he would appear in one
place, and when his pursuers would
get near he would disappear and in a
second show up some place else. He
appeared to enjoy this game of hide
and seek, but was rather coy of acting
in front of the crowd. At last, by dint
of much strategy and the use of a
handful of nuts, one of the animal
keepers succeeded in corralling him on
n brakebeam, and it was allover. The
filibustering monkey was placed in the
car with the rest of his race and
chained up for safety. -
“In the hustle and bustle of loading
the animals on the train he had got
away and hid himself on one of the
car trucks, and when the train started
he meandered around. He probably
uncoupled the train pipe the first time
by accident, and seeing he had caused
quite a hubbub tried it over and over
again. with more satisfactory results.

, Some uncharitable people went so
far as to say that if she had‘not had so
much mind her husband might have
been living to-day. Be that as it may,
he died and left her sole mistress of a.
handsome property, with no one to
oppose her will.
She adopted one of his nieces, and
loved her as well as she could love any-
one but herself.
and had lovers, as maidens will.
Luckily her choice was her aunt’s as
well, and the day was set for her mar-
riage with Harry Winship without op-
position, the only condition being that
they should return to Mrs. Driscoll’s
home after a brief wedding tour.
“Well, Kate,” said the stately lady,
the day before the wedding, “every-
thing is ready, and I must say that I
never saw preparations more complete
—not even for your uncle’s funeral,
poor man! I always meant to give you
a handsome marriage portion, so get
your hat—we’ll go to the bank.”
What girl would delay under similar
circumstances?
The carriage was speedily ordered,
and soon stopped before the bank.
Except the bank officials, there was
in the building only George Travis, one
of Kate’s discarded suitors, who was
getting an insignificant check cashed.
Mrs. Driscoll was not slow to see an
opportunity to flutter her sails, as her
worthy husband had been accustomed
to say.
Drawing her check book she smil-
ingly wrote a check for £ 2,000 and pre-
sented it to the cashier.
“Payable to Miss Kate—a. marriage
portion, I presume. “Ah, very gen-
erous of you! Miss Kate, I congratulate
you,” said the cashier. “Shall I make
the new book in your own name ?”
“She wants no book—at least not
yet,” retorted Mrs. Driscoll, sharply.
| “When I give a thing I give it. I want
' good, solid money for that check—
} bright, yellow gold.”
i “But—¥—vv'hy—you live fully a mile
. from a. neighbor. Have you—do you
2 think of the temptation?” he said, hesi-
: tatingly. .
i “Did I ask your advice?” snapped
. Mrs. Driscoll. “I am able to take care
of my own property, and, if it will not
break the bank, I want it in gold.”
“Certainly, madam. lily conscience is
clear if you wake up to find yourself
murdered to-morrow morning. This
bank can pay ten times that sum at
sight, madam,” 'was the dignified reply,
. to which Mrs. Driscoll listened in curt-
sil-ence. _
The cashier went into the vault, clos-
ing the door behind him.
George Travis, having counted the
money received on his check. went out
, without a glance at the two ladies.
[ “There! Now, I reckon. Travis be-
' gins to realize what he has lost,” nodded
| Mrs. Driscoll.
‘ Kate blushed slightly.
. “But, aunt,” she said, uneasily.
i “wouldn’t it be better for me to take
’ a book with the money left to my cred-
,it? Harry will not be here until to-
imorrow, and—and think of the risk!
It is unsafe.”
“How long is it since I came to be told
my duty by a miss of 18 ?” breathed Mrs.
Driscoll,‘ scornfully. “What a. coward
you are! If you don’t want the money,
say so, and I’ll let it remain where it is.
If you do want it, hold your tongue, and
help me take care of it until I can give
iyou both into Harry W'inship’s keep-
ing.”
Further conversation was prevented
by the cashier’s return. '
He carried a strongiron box.
“Count it!” commanded Mrs.
coll.
One by one’ the golden coins were
counted under her admiring eyes.
“There, that is maneyl That is like
a wedding gift!” she ejaculated, in a
satisfied tone. ,
“Better let me give you a receipt for
it and put it into the safe to—night,”
suggested the cashier.
“Put it into my carriage!” was the
sharp order to the bank porter.
The man obeyed and watched with a
puzzled face the carriage out of sight.
“She beats all I ever saw,” he said.
“I don't wonder her husband died.”
Meanwhile Mrs. Driscoll returned
home well satisfied with the world and
herself in particular.
She had had her own way.
' “I shall not put this under my pillow
as I generally do,” she said to Kate.
“This box is harder than feathers. 1
shall put it under the corner of your
bed.”
“Thanks, aunt!

ing at the door.
“The farm is only a mile further on.
Send him about his business," answered
her mistress.
Norah went out.
Soon a figure clothed in rags went by
the open window.
The man turned and shook
clenched fist at the astonished lady.
“Of all things! The impudent thing!"
she gasped.
“Oh, but aunt. I’m sure he has heard
all that we said about that horrid
money!” faltered Kate. ‘
Mrs. Driscoll’s face told the concern
which she felt. but she turned her back
upon her niece and took up a book. '

Was it the tramp? Was that some-

Suddenly the door was noiselessly

The faint odor of chloroform told
why the door was closed.
What if he gave an overdose?
Kate loved the stern woman, and,
notwithstanding her timidity, ,that
thought nerved her to action. '
She sprang from the room with a
shrill cry, clutching both hands in the
hair of the intruder. ’It is needless to
say that he was startled out of what

Kate said, as she bade her good-by. -
“As you please. I’ve had my say

“But the hair—did you save it? It

“I burned it,” was the calm reply.
“I did not need to save it, for I knew

BATTLE oi TEXAS.
Citizens Attack Colored Troops at
Fort Ringgold.
LAREDO. Tex, Nov. 22.——Reports
have reached here that there was a pitch-
ed battle Monday night at Fort Ringgold,
Rio Grande City, Tex., between a com-
pany of the Ninth United States cavalry,
colored. garrisoning the fort, and several
hundred citizens, who attacked the post
shortly after dark. Three thousand
shots are said to have been fired during
the fight. but the casualties are not
known here. It is also said that all wo-
men and children have been sent away
from Itio Grande City and that runners
are out after re-enforcements for the citi-
zens. The military authorities are occu-
pying the telegraph wires, and full re-
ports cannot be obtained.
That the affair is a serious one is indi-
cated by the activity in military circles
here. Major Thompson, in command at
Fort McIntosh, has bought up all the
Krag-Jorgensen ammunition in Laredo
and is hurriedly loading a special train
with mules, baggage, etc., to take all
available forces here to the scene of the
trouble, and a special train is en route
from Fort Sam Houston on the way to

Leaving Kan-an City.
EAST NOR'I‘HFIELD, Mass, Nov.
20.—~Dwight L4 Moody, who recently suf-
fered an attack of heart trouble while
engaged in evangelistic work in Kansas
City, reached his home here last night
and rested comfortably.
His condition seems to have improved
since he left Kansas City. Mr. Moody
made no stop at Buffalo and thus failed
to meet his wife and son, William R.
Moody, in that city. He came direct to
Greenfield over the Fitchburg road,
where he was met by his younger son,
Paul, with a pair of horses and at once
driven over the road to East Northfield,
12 miles away. The ride apparently‘did
Mr. Moody much good, and he was great-
ly pleased to get home once more. .With
him were Dr. Schaufiler and C. M. Vining,
both of Kansas City. Mr. Moody was
met at his residence by his daughter,
Mrs. A. P. Pitt; Mr. Pitt and other rela-
tives, and everything had been arranged

THE DEWEY HOME.
The Adnniral’o Wlfe Transfers tho
House to George, Jr.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—George
Goodwin Dewey, Admiral Dewey’s only
son, is now the owner of the residence
presented to the admiral by the. American
people.
Papers Were prepared and signed early
yesterday'by which Mrs. Mildred Mc-
Lean Dewey transfers all rights and ti-
tles to the property known as 1747
Rhode Island avenue, this city, to George
Goodwin Dewey. This is the property
which yesterday Admiral Dewey trans-
ferred to Mrs. Dewey. The papers mak-
mg the new transfer probably will be
placed on file today. ' .
. In explanation of the transaction prac-
tically completed today a relative of the
Dewey family/ made this statement:
“Admiral and Mrs. Dewey have trans-
,ferred to the; former’s son, George Good~
wm Dewey, the title _to the home pre-
sented to the admiral by the people of
this country. It will continue to be the
home of the admiral and Mrs. Dewey no
long as he may live. It may be desira-
ble now to say that it was the wish 0
both the admiral and Mrs. Dewey to
provide for a proper succession to the
property. The last transfer comple
the transaction begun Monday and is t e
carrying out only of the original inten-
tion of both the admiral and Mrs. Dew-
ey. By all those interested in the mat-
ter the method of transfer adopted was
considered the best and safest that could
have been adopted. It is to be consid--
ered, naturally, that the transfer was to
be the act of Mrs. Dewey as well as of
the admiral. It was her desire that she
should release any claim she might have
to the property through her marriage to
the admiral, and to do this the transfer
was made through her to the admiral’s
son as soon as was practicable. Through
the method adopted no dispute ever can
arise over the disposition of the prop-
erty.”
